Happy Friday, Goose Creek Farms neighborhood! The Road Committee hopes that you are all having a very pleasant summer! The committee recently convened online and discussed raking, grading, rolling and cleaning ditches where needed to refresh Goose Creek Lane into the early fall.

At this time, no firm date is set, but work is tentatively planned for the first week in August.

The Road Committee is grateful for everyone’s donations to maintain Goose Creek Lane. If you haven’t contributed a donation for 2022, please note that donations have remained unchanged for the last two years at $500. Donations by check may be mailed to: GCF Road Committee PO Box 604 Leesburg, VA, 20176 Or, make dues payment by Zelle® to board@goosecreekfarms.xyz

Happy New Year from the Goose Creek Farms Road Committee! Please see the attached newsletter for January 2022 (UPDATED) and feel free to reply to the Committee should you have any questions. The committee is very grateful for everyone’s support and contributions throughout the year to help maintain Goose Creek Lane. We wish you all the very best in 2022!

Good morning Goose Creek Farm neighbors!  Your GCF Road Committee wanted to provide everyone a short update on temporary improvements we are making to the muddy sections of Goose Creek Lane.  On Friday, the committee contracted with Village Landscapes to dump two truckloads of stone to make the worst sections of GCL passable.  We understand that there is more work to be done, but this short term measure is only a stop-gap fix until more permanent road improvements can be implemented.  We would also like to thank one of our own residents, Mr. Lou Casciano for his contribution to add stone to the roadway near the Red Barn.  

The committee is working on a newsletter to comprehensively address the GCL Road Committee’s plans for 2021 which will be published shortly. The committee is also considering a video “Town Hall” event in the coming month to discuss planned expenditures in the year ahead.  This video town hall event will be open to all dues paying residents.   Suggestions and capital road improvement ideas are welcome as we identify and vet local road maintenance companies to support our requirements.  We will also work to address as many concerns as possible. 

Thank you for your patience as we work to keep Goose Creek Lane safe and accessible.

The committee wanted to take a moment today to let our residents know that we are aware of the condition of Goose Creek Lane and are currently in discussions to address the numerous pot holes, muddy sections of roadway, and erosion that has occurred over the last several weeks.  We are working with our road contractors to develop an effective and affordable maintenance and repair strategy given recent and forecasted winter weather expected in the weeks ahead.  Unfortunately, with back to back harsh winter weather events, our contracted road providers have not had a sufficient number of “dry” days to allow them to perform routine road maintenance on Goose Creek Lane.

We have received concerns about specific parts of Goose Creek Lane and we thank our dues paying residents for their updates and notifications to the committee.  Over the short term, we will focus our contracted road maintenance support to make very temporary fixes for the larger pot holes and to touch up muddy sections of the Goose Creek Lane.  With dryer weather, the committee will then initiate actions to contract for more extensive road maintenance to include improved drainage and the laying of asphalt millings.  More details to follow on these plans in the  upcoming newsletter.

As a reminder to all of our residents, Annual Road Dues for 2021 have been reduced to $500 and may be divided into two payments (Jan-June, and July-Dec) for your convenience.  Also new for 2021, dues may now be sent simply and safely online via Zelle to:  board@goosecreekfarms.xyz.  For traditional payment by check – residents may pay their dues by US Mail to: GCF Road Committee, PO Box 604, Leesburg, VA, 20176. 

Thank you, 

The GCF Road Committee
